C-Kermit uses (n)curses to format the fullscreen file-transfer display.
(n)curses, in turn, uses the terminfo database. When C-Kermit starts, it
checks your TERM environment variable and asks (n)curses if this terminal
type is acceptable. If (n)curses says "no", it usually means your terminfo
database lacks an entry for the terminal whose name is the value of the TERM
variable, "xterm" in this case, and in that case C-Kermit disables its
fullscreen file-transfer display.
